NOW MORE THAN EVER
Election time is fast closing in on us.
It is time for final analysis and decisions.
Hopefully it is the conviction of most of
us here at Bethel that elections are still
important in this country, that each vote
is important, and that we are, each of
us, helping to fashion the direction ~ur
country is going to take; either by active
support or passive compliance with those
who desire to fashion it. This may seem
naive to some who fatalistically suggest
that we do not have such control. If we
don't it is our fault. If we fail to release
our Christian convictions into the poli­tical
mainstream, we are guilty of the
most disgusting negligence. We have the
opportunity, this year "more than ever,"
to determine a national direction that
most closely approximates the ideas we
hold.
It seems tragic that the American pub­lic
has allowed itself to be so courted
by the candidate makers that even the
most banal antics of technology are al­lowed
to perform their mechanized won­ders
on believing crowds. The President's
much heralded trip to Atlanta recently
was viewed by the television public as
a touching display of community sup­port
and loyalty. Unknown to the average
viewer were mechanized paper shredders
providing the adoring shower of the con­fetti.
Tactics like this may often be em­ployed
by both parties. That, however,
only serves to increase the scope of the
tragedy of politics removed from the
real base of society: the needs and feel-two

ings of the people. Our infatuation with
"personality cult" has blurred our vision
of the issues that ultimately comprise
our national direction.
We are sick and tired of insinuations
that Senator McGovern is the only can­didate
who has modified his position on
the issues. It was Nixon who said I will
"run an open administration." It was
Nixon who said that he would avoid wage
and price controls. And, it was Nixon
who said he would reduce the national
debt. What has happened? Instead of an
open administration we must tolerate se­cret
campaign funds. Here we ask the
Bethel community if the American gov­ernment
is one which is supposed to ca­ter
to special interests and allow those
interests to be rubber-stamped on elec­tion
day, or, is government supposed to
be an entity open to citizen participation.
Wage and price controls have worked
wonderfully on the wages part of the
plan but said plan seems to have a
more elusive grip on prices. The promise
to reduce the national debt is perhaps
the biggest joke of all. He has man­
·aged to compile one of the largest defi­cit
spending programs in history and
has tried to convince the American pub­lic
the convenient "Democratic Congress"
is the root of all economic evil. We are
not agreeing or disagreeing with the
dynamics of Keynesian economics as
such. However, it is our contention that
the President must accept responsibility
for the things he does.
Weare sincerely thankful for the
pending peace settlements in Vietnam.

At the same time we are amazed at a
time-table for settlement so closely
geared to the election. Our amazement
is not, however, so much evoked by the
efficiency of this time-table as by its
blatant consideration of election expedi­encies
above human life. We ask, what
was wrong with 1970 . . . 1971 . . . or
even early 1972? What advantages has
settlement now given us to offset the
loss of life in Vietnam since Nixon's
election? Perhaps McGovern deserves a
large share of the credit for the peace
settlement. Perhaps it has been his con­stant
anti-war stance that has enlight­ened
the American public and has ul­timately
forced the President's hand to
produce results.
A McGovern administration, we be­lieve
would r everse the unmistakable
drift'in Washington away from govern­ment
of, by and for the people. We are
talking about such programs as: elimi­nation
of unemployment through govern­ment
created jobs and allowing welfare
recipients the opportunity to earn a re­spectable
wage instead. We heartily ap­prove
of tax reform and ending controls
which apply in reality only to wages.
Such proposals as: pension protection,
improved social security, and a National
Health 'Care program can really only
serve to improve the life of the people;
a basic role and purpose of government.
Elimination of military waste should be
a priority. History has taught us that
sheer numbers is not the major prerequi­site
of strength. These are some 'of the
major planks that comprise McGovern's
political philosophy - a philosophy of
basic Christian humanism. It is clear
that McGovern will fight for effective
and necessary reforms in American so­cial,
political and economic institutions.
The election is really in our hands.
We the people have a chance, this year,
to determine our national direction now
more than ever. Perhaps it is time to
act and not only ... hold our breath.

T. V. Station begins operation this week
by Lynn Johnson
KABY, Bethel's own campus broad­casting
station, began showing television
programs this week. Its original produc­tionsincluded
a vari~ty show. sports
coverage of the Bethel-Carleton soccer
game and basketball practice sessions,
and the first in a series ·of weekly news­casts.
Operation of this station is the pri­mary
responsibility of Dale Rott's Me­dia
Communication class. Aiding in their
efforts are are students, who provide
a,ppropriate sets and backgrounds. Also
helping are members of Rott's Basic
Communication class.
. Broadcasting will be limited to the
Bethel community and programming will
·attempt to reflect the interests of Bethel
students. News, variety, and sports were
selected as the three types of.' program
to be used on the basis of a survey con­ducted
at the beginning of the course.
Programs will be shown weekly over
a closed circ'uit television: system that

Mounting the Soapbox
Nixon caters to the
power and wea'ith
by Wayne Pauluk
No President can please everyone in
every way. Mr. Nixon obviously has not
attempted to do so. My contention, how­ever,
is that he has tried to please
those with enough wealth and power to
return the favor.
Mr. Nixon claims to be combating in­flation.
If so, it merely shows how poor
a comhatant he is.
Mr. Nixon has vetoed ,bills which
would aid the elderly, the veteran and
the ghetto-dweller. He vetoed a bill
which would clean up the nation's wa­ter.
All thiS' was in the name of fighting
inflation.
When the dairy industry contributed
to his campaign, Nixon raised the price
supports on milk. Of course, higher milk
prices followed, ·but that isn't inflation,
is it?
Of course the ITT scandal is history.
The suit to ·bre·ak up the telephone
monopoly was dropped by ;Nixon. If ITT
had been divided, the companieS' would
compete. Competition would lead to low­er
prices. Don't lower prices fight in­flation?
After four more years, if Nixon con­tinues
as he has thus far, ' we look for­ward
to 8 percent unemployment and a
dollar with 80 percent of ·a pre-Nixon
dollar.
Is this cause for alarm? Certainly not.
Just give Nixon the five or ten million
dollars you have lying around. He'll take
good care of you!

viewed during the noon hour, although
no permanent schedule has been deter.
mined. This programming will continue
until the end of the term.
Eventually, KABY will also produce
radio broadcasts. This is impossible at
the present, however, 'because the radio
equipment has not yet been delivered or
installed.
KABY's studios are located adjacent
to the Learning Resource Genter in E
300. Its facilities include four studios
and a control room. Presently, however,
production has been complicated by the
fact that these studios are not com­pletely
ready for use. Most of the equip­ment
is yet to be installed. Besides that,
KABY's largest studio is currently occu­pied
by the office of the Registrar and
will not be available for use until that
office can be moved elsewhere.

Thoughtfulness and Consideration
To the editor:
I must confess that I am perhaps a typical American who
often ignores what may appear to be small, insignificant laws.
If there is a little rule or law that can be broken without
any resulting penalty, I am one who would probably break
it if it would be a matter of convenience for myself; it would
only be a little rule, of course. However, I had an experience
last week which caused me to stop and think about this
tendency of mine.
I came strolling down Bethel drive one day las,t week in
my 1954 Chevy (ignoring the 20 mph speed limit because I
knew good and well that there was no place for an unmarked
car to check my speed on Bethel Drive) at about 11:30 a.m.
As usual, I was late for fourth hour, and I had a paper due
in World Politics. Since the long, treacherous walk from the
parking lot seemed inconvenient, 1 decided that the best place
for me to park was on the side of the road off of Bethel Drive
in front of building B where all of the no parking signs had
been posted. (1 also knew I was safe there because I had done
it before and my car hadn't been towed away).
On this particular day, however, 1 met an unforseen ob­stacle.
Dean Nettleton (what an obstacle!) met me at the
door and very politely asked me if I would m'ove my car be­cause
cars' and trucks have a terrible time getting through
with cars lihed on either side 'of the road. After I moved my
car, we had a brief (I was late for class) chat that made me
feel very guilty. He said the administration has tried to
observe a policy of not towing away illegally parked cars but
it has not been working. He mentioned that even faculty
members have parked where the buses must turn around in
the "No Cars Please" area. I got the message squarely; I was
causing a lot of people a lot more grief than I had realized
by disregarding the "little rules" that are only made for the
good of the community.
Perhaps I am a typical American prone to cheat on the
system a little. But I am also a Christian American who
ought to be more sensitive and considerate of others who
are perhaps 'suffering because of my own thoughtlessness.
There are so many "little things" in life that each one of us
cast aside as unimportant when actually they may be very
consequential to someone ' else. As Christians, we should ,be
especially concerned about being helpful, sensitive, and ac­tively
working at loving our neighbor as ourself.
There are many temporary inconveniences that we must
live with while our beautiful campus is yet under construction.
This article is simply a confession and a plea to cooperate and
respect the rules that have been made, keeping in mind what
has been said above. Little things' like wiping the mud off of
our feet before entering Ithe building, keeping our feet off
ta1bles, taking the time to listen to someone's problem, and
accepting common sense advice should become practices that
we all should keep. It's going to be very hard for me, but I
know that the administration has enough headaches without
having to spend time directing cars to the parking lot.

Big Dan abuses his office
To the editor:
Just who does Dan Nelson think he represents anyway?
When he writes a column in the Clarion he should stick to '
the business of the Student Senate and ' student affairs. The
Senate does not need, someone representing them to give a
personal political testimony. When he writes as Dan Nelson the
student, I don't care if he makes stupid political choices. But
when he does so under the title, "Student Assocation Presi­dent,"
he offends the individuality of the Student Senators.
He can challenge our personal positions even though they are
made with the same mature thinking our parents possess. At
no time in this Presidential campaign have I, as a Senator,
used my office to further my political beliefs. I consider it
a great injustice that our Student Association President abused
the power of his office.
In shprt,' Mr. President (Dan Nelson) do not mingle poli­tics
with your Senate position. If 1 did such a thing as Election
Chairman, think how vigorously your henchmen would de·
nounce me. 1 will be looking for your apology in next week's
Clarion. 1 hope you do reform.
To the editor:
Tim Martens, '74
What's with Gideon in '72?
The perspective David Hoehlassumes concerning the Pres­idential
campaign (The Bethel Bomber, October 20, 1972) is
all too indicative of the simplistic political thinking prevalent
.in the Bethel community. The statement Hoehl made, in effect,
totally disregarded the vital issues and questions of the cam­paign
and furthermore reduced the campaign to an over-sim­plified
contrast 'between Richard Nixon cast as "chosen of
God" and George McGovern implicated as "a two-faced cap­tain
of questionable Jewish blood line". It is in simplistic ap­peals
such as Hoehl's that responsible investigation of the
questions concerning the true issues is abhored. ,
I would hope that Bethel students in preparing them­selves
to vote in next week's election, assume the responsi­bility
to personally examine what each candidate proposes
and represents and not rely on such simplistic statements mis­construing
the Scriptures in poor taste. Somehow, I fail to see
the vital role Gideon plays in Tuesday's election.

THE FOY PROPOSAL
- a bill now before Student Senate
Because of the lack of interaction this year on the Old
Campus I feel the administration must act accordingly and
try to change the situation. Although t"hey may not be able
to make the social life perfect, I feel they could take some
certain steps which seem both practical and easy and would
provide more opportunities for students to interact. My con­cerns
at this point are the Old Campus' library, the College
or Administration Building and the old Seminary Building.
One of the ideas I would like to submit is to change the
upstairs of the library ("Student Center") into an area of recre­ational
activities. This would include ping pong tables, pool
tables, and a couple of shuffle board set-ups. Box hockey and
other games could be made available. The "study hall" that is
now located in the upstairs of the Student Center could be
moved to room 106 in the College building. Then I would
suggest moving the third floor offices in the Student Center
over to the vacant Seminary Building along with the study
room area. Since the Sem. Building has many empty
rooms, such as S-3 and the chapel, I feel it is much more
ideal for the purpose of quiet study and meditation than the
place now provided for those studying. After moving the up­stairs
offices, I would suggest making one room a "stereo
room" similar to the one that has existed in the past years.
Speakers could be put in the new recreation room below
therefore making it possible for students' music to be played.
Christian records and other student preferences of music
could be made available. The room could be locked to help
in the prevention of theft when not in use.
You might also consider an extension of the coffeeshop
in the old library building. This temporary shop would help
to alleviate the problem of non-interaction and would enable
students to make more use of their food cOJ.!]>ons.
The cost of this small project is minimal and can only
be weighed against the value ' the school places on student
interaction 'and the students' social life. However, if neces­sary
a special drive or fund project could be set up by those
interested to help finance this project.
Before you shoot this project down, think of our old
coffeeshop and the contributions it made. Now look around;
ask some freshmen how they like watching the electric ma­chines
make the action in our "social lounges."
Submitted Respectfully,
David "Feather" Foy
Class of '74
Special Note: Campus Coordinators lDave Horn and Laura
Johnson have informed us that very soon they will begin oper­ating
a temporary coffeeshop service in the bottom level of
the "Student Center." They will use their own funds (about
$80) for this operation lasting about three weeks - hopefully,
by then, the coffeeshop service on the New Campus will take
over the temporary one on the Old Campus.

that would have made a great story for

I deserved. But more important, I didn't

In the second half, the Gusties went
ahead once again on a penalty shot to
make the score 2-1. But Bethel, still
putting pressure on the Gustavus de­fense,
also got a penalty shot and tied
the game 2-2. After that, Bethel really
exhibited some good soccer and scored
more goals while shutting out the .Gus­ties.
The scorer of the . night was Steve
Jergenson with four goals. Steve Voth
had three assists ·and one goal. The
entire team played very well under
terrible, muddy playing conditions.
With this win, Bethel is the undispu­ted
number one soccer team in the
State of Minnesota and may advance to
a national tournament.

NOW MORE THAN EVER
Election time is fast closing in on us.
It is time for final analysis and decisions.
Hopefully it is the conviction of most of
us here at Bethel that elections are still
important in this country, that each vote
is important, and that we are, each of
us, helping to fashion the direction ~ur
country is going to take; either by active
support or passive compliance with those
who desire to fashion it. This may seem
naive to some who fatalistically suggest
that we do not have such control. If we
don't it is our fault. If we fail to release
our Christian convictions into the poli­tical
mainstream, we are guilty of the
most disgusting negligence. We have the
opportunity, this year "more than ever,"
to determine a national direction that
most closely approximates the ideas we

It seems tragic that the American pub­lic

by the candidate makers that even the

At the same time we are amazed at a
time-table for settlement so closely
geared to the election. Our amazement
is not, however, so much evoked by the
efficiency of this time-table as by its
blatant consideration of election expedi­encies
above human life. We ask, what
was wrong with 1970 . . . 1971 . . . or
even early 1972? What advantages has
settlement now given us to offset the
loss of life in Vietnam since Nixon's
election? Perhaps McGovern deserves a
large share of the credit for the peace
settlement. Perhaps it has been his con­stant
anti-war stance that has enlight­ened
the American public and has ul­timately
forced the President's hand to
produce results.
A McGovern administration, we be­lieve
would r everse the unmistakable
drift'in Washington away from govern­ment
of, by and for the people. We are
talking about such programs as: elimi­nation
of unemployment through govern­ment
created jobs and allowing welfare
recipients the opportunity to earn a re­spectable
wage instead. We heartily ap­prove
of tax reform and ending controls
which apply in reality only to wages.
Such proposals as: pension protection,
improved social security, and a National
Health 'Care program can really only
serve to improve the life of the people;
a basic role and purpose of government.
Elimination of military waste should be
a priority. History has taught us that
sheer numbers is not the major prerequi­site
of strength. These are some 'of the
major planks that comprise McGovern's
political philosophy - a philosophy of
basic Christian humanism. It is clear
that McGovern will fight for effective
and necessary reforms in American so­cial,
political and economic institutions.
The election is really in our hands.
We the people have a chance, this year,
to determine our national direction now
more than ever. Perhaps it is time to
act and not only ... hold our breath.

T. V. Station begins operation this week
by Lynn Johnson
KABY, Bethel's own campus broad­casting
station, began showing television
programs this week. Its original produc­tionsincluded
a vari~ty show. sports
coverage of the Bethel-Carleton soccer
game and basketball practice sessions,
and the first in a series ·of weekly news­casts.
Operation of this station is the pri­mary
responsibility of Dale Rott's Me­dia
Communication class. Aiding in their
efforts are are students, who provide
a,ppropriate sets and backgrounds. Also
helping are members of Rott's Basic
Communication class.
. Broadcasting will be limited to the
Bethel community and programming will
·attempt to reflect the interests of Bethel
students. News, variety, and sports were
selected as the three types of.' program
to be used on the basis of a survey con­ducted
at the beginning of the course.
Programs will be shown weekly over
a closed circ'uit television: system that
has been installed with monitors in the
Mounting the Soapbox
Nixon caters to the
power and wea'ith
by Wayne Pauluk
No President can please everyone in
every way. Mr. Nixon obviously has not
attempted to do so. My contention, how­ever,
is that he has tried to please
those with enough wealth and power to
return the favor.
Mr. Nixon claims to be combating in­flation.
If so, it merely shows how poor
a comhatant he is.
Mr. Nixon has vetoed ,bills which
would aid the elderly, the veteran and
the ghetto-dweller. He vetoed a bill
which would clean up the nation's wa­ter.
All thiS' was in the name of fighting
inflation.
When the dairy industry contributed
to his campaign, Nixon raised the price
supports on milk. Of course, higher milk
prices followed, ·but that isn't inflation,
is it?
Of course the ITT scandal is history.
The suit to ·bre·ak up the telephone
monopoly was dropped by ;Nixon. If ITT
had been divided, the companieS' would
compete. Competition would lead to low­er
prices. Don't lower prices fight in­flation?
After four more years, if Nixon con­tinues
as he has thus far, ' we look for­ward
to 8 percent unemployment and a
dollar with 80 percent of ·a pre-Nixon
dollar.
Is this cause for alarm? Certainly not.
Just give Nixon the five or ten million
dollars you have lying around. He'll take
good care of you!

no permanent schedule has been deter.
mined. This programming will continue
until the end of the term.
Eventually, KABY will also produce
radio broadcasts. This is impossible at
the present, however, 'because the radio
equipment has not yet been delivered or
installed.
KABY's studios are located adjacent
to the Learning Resource Genter in E

and a control room. Presently, however,
production has been complicated by the
fact that these studios are not com­pletely
ready for use. Most of the equip­ment
is yet to be installed. Besides that,
KABY's largest studio is currently occu­pied
by the office of the Registrar and
will not be available for use until that
office can be moved elsewhere.

The cost of this small project is minimal and can only
be weighed against the value ' the school places on student
interaction 'and the students' social life. However, if neces­sary
a special drive or fund project could be set up by those
interested to help finance this project.
Before you shoot this project down, think of our old
coffeeshop and the contributions it made. Now look around;
ask some freshmen how they like watching the electric ma­chines
make the action in our "social lounges."
Submitted Respectfully,

Special Note: Campus Coordinators lDave Horn and Laura
Johnson have informed us that very soon they will begin oper­ating
a temporary coffeeshop service in the bottom level of
the "Student Center." They will use their own funds (about
$80) for this operation lasting about three weeks - hopefully,
by then, the coffeeshop service on the New Campus will take
over the temporary one on the Old Campus.

__ The Bethel soccer club, on Oct. 30, 1972, between 7 p.m.
and 9 p.m. made history. The team beat Gustavus Adolphus,
the number one soccer team in the state for the last four years.
Bethel won 5-2 and handed Gustavus
its first home defeat in the last four
You probably saw the ad in THE
CLARION a few weeks ago where a
lonely girl was sending out an S.O.S.
for some male to talk to her. And many
of you thought, "Wow, she must Ibe pret­ty
hard up and pretty ugly!" That's what
I expected you to do.
A room of four men in Hagstrom co­signed
a note telling me they were free
any time I needed someone to talk to.

P.O. numbers!)
years, due to the fact that Bethel had
a more balanced team and finally played
up to its ability. Gustavus has a power­ful
offense and that is why they've won
by large scores so aften thiS' year. Beth­el
not only has a good offense, however,
but a fine defense.
Gustavus opened the scoring early in
the game, but Bethel managed to even
it up with a goal with two minutes left
I was looking for a deluge of sarcastic, in the first half.
obscene notes stuffed in my post office
box from boys that I could condemn for
being hard-hearted and cruel. Actually,
that would have made a great story for
THE CLARION, plus an excellent ex­cuse
-to put down the male population
of Bethel.
It didn't work. ' The whole thing blew
up in my face - which is probably what
I deserved. But more important, I didn't
receive any cynical replies. I think I've
found some nice people.
Five notes were put in my box, all
of which showed ·concern for a lonely
person in need of a friend. None of the
replies sounded aggressive or anxious
to capture some naive female. They were
caring people who wanted to help me.
Even though I didn't deserve any
sincere replies, it's awfully nice to know
there are some people here that really
care about the happiness of others. And
to you people who replied, thank you.

In the second half, the Gusties went
ahead once again on a penalty shot to
make the score 2-1. But Bethel, still
putting pressure on the Gustavus de­fense,
also got a penalty shot and tied
the game 2-2. After that, Bethel really
exhibited some good soccer and scored
more goals while shutting out the .Gus­ties.
The scorer of the . night was Steve
Jergenson with four goals. Steve Voth
had three assists ·and one goal. The
entire team played very well under
terrible, muddy playing conditions.
With this win, Bethel is the undispu­ted
number one soccer team in the
State of Minnesota and may advance to
a national tournament.
